They have conveniently used the Block Party/Brooklyn Bowl show as the cut-off point for good shows. Anyone attending the August shows should give up on life. First three shows have epic potential though.

Pool Parties fucking rock and so does this lineup! So looking forward to these, Sunday church! Hope there is kielbasa to eat, but most of you losers prob already ate them all. Yeah, I'd much rather pay $60 to see a meh band than go see FREE shows where the crowds aren't from fucking Jersey and Long Island.

You gotta give the fake lineup poster props...that was a totally credible lineup and he/she had all of us going, touche. Iggy and the Stooges, lol. This one obviously has less popular appeal, but who knows, it might seem amazing looking back on it next year. Haven't you guys ever discovered some great bands checking them out at free shows? Even ones you might not have gotten via their records?

Yeah, you Jelly guys had it coming. You can't say that you are going to announce something today and then wait until 8pm (or later) to do it. It wasn't hard to them to find it on your site. They didn't "hack it". That image was publicly hosted and that was your own dumbass fault for having it on a live server instead of in your dev environment. You fucking deserve it.

I'm surprised that Stereogum even took that post down; pussies. They didn't even have to hack it. It was easy to find all of the Jelly site files today within their URL. They must have some amateur web developers on their team. This is hilarious that they are fuming about it.

Hey Jelly, why do you still not have this on your site? This shit should've been announced weeks ago. Were you scrambling to try and get good bands until the last minute, and this is the lineup you had to settle for?

Two years ago, at least there was some variety in the lineup. You had one show with Eli Paperboy Reed, Langhorne Slim, and Felice Brothers. It was a nice change of pace. Granted there was barely anyone there because it was raining, and APW was the same day, but it was a great show.

Jelly has an army of self-righteous, spoiled unpaid interns who don't know what the fuck to do with their Lib Arts degrees from overpriced private colleges, but definitely don't want to get real jobs and don't have any real talent to share with the music world. They are all reading these comments. This is awesome.

So here it is, via Jelly NYC: the best reason not to flee the city on the summer weekends. Once more at the Williamsburg Waterfront (aka East River State Park) in the 11211 thanks to Chuck Schumer’s lobbying after totally coincidentally and authentically happening upon the hipster hoedown while cruising down Kent Ave one Sunday, like Senators and Jay-Zs tend do. Once again entirely free, for seven Sundays over eight weeks (the missing Sunday in that stretch will still see a free party, but at Brooklyn Bowl instead, because of a Waterfront scheduling conflict/Jelly NYC’s love of drunken bowling).

The summer slate kicks off with Xiu Xiu and Deerhoof doing Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures on 7/11, wraps up with Delorean and SPECIAL GUESTS on 8/29, with some aggro excellence on 7/25 (Lightning Bolt, No Age, Cap’n Jazz) and a great slate on 8/8 (Cut Copy, Restless People, Memory Tapes, Glasser) that will make you feel better about not being at Lolla (for a few hours anyway). Flyer above. Bring sunscreen/a functioning liver.

^^^ this is EXACTLY RIGHT. the one girl i knew who worked for the company was a talentless, spoiled, able-to-be-unpaid intern who did nothing but check brooklynvegan. thankfully, she (and the other worthless ~20 hipsters) are reading this and weeping at the crowd reacting to their shitty announcements, and shitty lineup. the last two sundays of this? what a joke.

Is there anyone reading this who reps one of the bands listed that can confirm (anonymously of course) it's validity? Or is there anyone who reps a band who is CONFIRMED but NOT listed so we can make some fucking sense of this? The fact no one is stepping up and saying "yes, it's legit, I work with one of these bands and shit is real", is pissing mehoff.

See ya'll at the Cap'n Jazz gig at Maxwell's - Lightning Bolt is playing that one too. Just confirmed - Enjoy buying my overpriced tickets on stub hub. But them now while they are still available - trust me on this one!

Probably Passion Pit again. They apparently have some sort of deal with NYC to play here every 2 months. But obviously they'd be the biggest band by leaps and bounds to play this series so it's obviously not them. So I'll go with another band that plays NYC every other week: Titus Andronicus.

So pathetic. Yes, there was no "hacker", because there didn't need to be. You hosted the files on your live site, idiots. Yes, there was a fake line-up, but that was earlier in the day. Yes, there might be bigger news coming, but who fucking cares? You guys are horrible at PR. Announce shit before you lose control of your own brand/business/etc. It's more important than getting your hyper-saturated and shitty web design up to "perfection" with the same lineup that is posted here. Cool, "Do's" and "Don'ts" also. Nice job, you're as shitty as Vice.

I'm a big Joy Division fan, but this Xiu Xiu/Deerhoof show has me worried. You can't tell me this is ideal music for a waterfront on a summer day. Furthermore, after watching clips on Youtube, it looks like it is a fairly straight interpretation. Why not just pay (less) for a Joy Division cover band? At least The Dirty Projectors reinterpreted Black Flag. This Joy Division album cover project just seems lazy.

Any word on the food this time? I remember having tasty gazpacho two years back, and I was deeply saddened that changed to pulled pork sandwiches last year?

Heres some food for you.
Why did the Sanders girls, Colonel Sanders' daughters, absolutely refuse to eat KFC's extra crispy fried chicken?
Well because it brought back too many bad memories of their late father's foreskin.

Covering one or two songs by a band you like is cool, but to play somebody else's record in its entirety? Why would I give two fucks about Xiu Xiu and Deerhoof playing an entire Joy Division album? R.I.P. Ian.

At the risk of getting bitched out by Jelly volunteers who think they're insiders, and people who "just want to have a good time," this *IS* a really shitty lineup, save for Why? and a few others.

Not to pin it all on Jelly either--it seems like someone recognized the chance to monetize the Waterfront--there have been a shitload of paid shows there, so obviously the problem with getting a permit doesn't have to do with the park or whatever.

This is a far cry from the glory days of McCarren. It's a shame what's been done to what was formerly a great experience--looks like we'll have to just count on Todd P after all.
